New York Times Claims "Siberia Retains Its Appeal as the Jewish Homeland"

Great. How soon can we ship off Thomas L. Friedman to live there?

Kudos to Scaramouche for her Thomas L. Friedman joke, which actually made me laugh--thereby alarming my family, who expect me to be in a dour mood when blog-reading.

Actually, Mr. Friedman, who seems to revel in the idea of blood-sucking (government) parasites getting to lord it over us sweaty, noisome _laborantes_, might find his natural readership in the clouds of Siberian mosquitoes that infest the Jewish Autonomous Region (during the brief warm season).

Incidentally, reading the NYT article was a blast from the past, as I once wrote a paper--just to annoy the professor--in college, on Stalin's establishment of various "national homelands" in the Soviet hinterlands as a paradigm of collectivist political action.
